Mandy Moon talks about being personally affected by the recent California wildfires, becoming a grandmother for the first time, the chaos surrounding her childhood, realising that her dad was famous because of her schoolteachers, her memories of some of Keith Moon’s friends, her childhood band and learning to play drums as an adult, seeing Keith for the last time and learning of his death, her struggles with drug and alcohol dependency, how people react to finding out she’s Keith Moon’s daughter, and pulling strings to obtain One Direction tickets.
Plus: Paul looks back on Who-related stuff that’s been going on since Season One ended – not only for the band, but in his personal life too – including a trip to the Cavern Club, sharing pizza with Roger Daltrey’s solo band, and the ever-confusing Zak Starkey saga.
